Description

β decay of 113Cd was studied with the help of a low background CdWO4 crystal scintillator (mass of 434 g) in an experiment at the Gran Sasso National Laboratories of the INFN for a period of 2758 h. The shape of the spectrum of the non-unique fourth-forbidden decay of 113Cd was measured, and the half-life of 113Cd was determined as T1/2=(8.04±0.05)x1015 yr
